An Orthodox Jewish family spends a short period of time in Southern Italy every year to harvest citrons which, Jewish tradition holds, were scattered there by God. A local man who hosts the family, is focused on the family business he inherited when his father died. He meets Esther, who feels constrained by her Orthodox Judaism.

Together, they learn what it means to forge your own path and find freedom and peace.
